There are the larger cells which measure 5m x 17m which holds between 30 – 48 inmates, and the single cells measuring 3m x 4m which hold one or three inmates. The single cells are used at times to separate violent inmates from the others, but they are also used by those inmates who want quiet to study. All the nursing mothers are in single cells as well. The Durban Management Area has a total personnel of about 1,344 that can be broken down as follows: • • • • • • • Functional personnel Health Care Psychologist Educationist Chaplain Social Workers Support 1,260 33 2 22 1 26 4 The Special Rapporteur visited three of the six centers – the Durban Female Center, the Durban Youth Center and the Durban Medium A Center. vi) Stanger Prison The Stanger Prison is located in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province some 70 Kilometres from the provincial capital, Durban. The approved occupancy rate is 92. The prison has a total of nine cells, holding 185 prisoners (about 220% overcrowded) including 24 juveniles and 4 females. It has a total of 45 staff members. The prison has no facilities for skills development – whether formal or vocational training. There are no recreational facilities save for some indoor games such as table tennis, snooker, board game and checkers, which the prisoners claim they never use. Inmates therefore stay locked up for about 23 hours and are released only twice during meals for thirty minutes each. 21 Special Rapporteur on Prisons Mission to South Africa 14 – 30 June 2004
